Marguerite spells out the harsh truth of her appointment to Vivienne. By the process of elimination, Marguerite accepted the risk to her gloire for the sake of her country. Looks like Saronne is in more trouble than Vivienne knew.

Speaking of trouble, our next page shifts the scene elsewhere. You can vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics to see who’s next in line for a surprise visit.

I have to hand it to Marguerite, even though her motivation is likely showing cooperation where others balk and expecting (hoping for) a dazzling victory to cement her a higher standing at court, the effect is that she has brought a sense of preparedness and order with her, which is something that is needed. Whether she can live up to her own expectations, well, that is another thing altogether.

Something to remember about colonial-era military officers is that they’re nobles *before* they’re officers. It’s actually very possible for an officer to be lower rank in the military, but a higher rank in the nobility. Thus it’s not difficult for political shenanigans to supersede the chain of command, particularly where assignments are concerned.

Well that’s a fun rivalry rekindled… They are both immature, entitled spoiled brats, but I suspect they will both have a chance to grow up. If they don’t screw up, they might even become the women they think they already are… :-P I don’t think they’ll ever be friends, but they might learn to respect each other. Or not. :-D
